James Beard Foundation events carry the cachet in the culinary world that their oft-linked comparison, the Oscars, do in moviedom.

So, an upcoming Friends of James Beard Scholarship dinner at Underground 119, Mississippi's first, is a huge food deal. The 112-seat Sunday dinner is sold out, but a slim chance at gastronomic giddiness remains, for four lucky folks (two sets of two tickets) in a social media trivia contest/drawing that wraps up Thursday (visit Tom Ramsey on Facebook or Whole Foods Market Jackson on Facebook for details).
